Increased German Trade.

Statistics Just compiled in Germany show
the immense increase in various important
centcrs Of the German foreign trade. THIS
is especially notable In China and Japan,
in Brazil and other South American states.
Kublow's Retictp says:
German machines, manufactured goods, and
drugs supply the Celestial empire, aud the
neighboring island empire, the land of the set
ting sun, where German manners, AMI views,
and methods are also introduced by the Ger.
man professors, officials, and officers who are
employed there. In Brazil our trade has
widened rapidly, and Hugo Zoller calls Porto
Allegro German Brazilian commercial town,
800 German firms being established there, some
of considerable importance. The German
Brazilian exhibition was very influential in
improving our commercial relations with
Brazil. German iron and iron goods come in
large quaD titles into the Brazilian market, as
well as German cloth stuifs wearing linen aud
porcelain goods, the import of which for Rio
de Jaueiro alone has risen TO 2O,O90,000 IN lrks
in value, against 1000 600 ten years ago. In
the La Plata states our trade isgreatly develop
ing. The South American states have the
most various wants which they can only sra-
ply from Europe. and II will be the business OF
German merchants to win even wider sale dis
tricis in these lands than they have had to do
with hitherto.
This great increase has been to great
extent brought about by the aid OF the i'm
perial government in various ways. Ger
man energy and push was helped, instead
Of being crushed, by the government, aud
the result is incre ased trade and of course
more money and better homes for the peo-
pie. German steamships have been sujgi
died to carry German goods cheaply to
every port In the world where market
could be found. American steamships
have been refused the ordinary pay for
carrying the mails and driven, so far as it is
possible for the government to do SO, from
the ocean.
German "machines" carried by our doors
and sold In China and Japan, German
iron and iron goods and cloth stuffs in
Brazil and on the Plata, are standing re-
proaches to our governments meanness.

GEMS to be very much needed for the latter

seems to be very much needed for the latter
purpose.
No one supposes that blatherskites like
Most and schwab and others Of that class,
who are continually talking and writing
about what they will do, will ever advance
further In crime than to rob hen-roost or
possibly supply dynamite bomb to some
man with more courage than themselves.
But their teachings, or the teachings OF such
as they, caused the murder at the Hay
market, for which these men are condemned
to suffer-
1t may be possible-itis is possible, in fact
that these mcn, or some Of them, really be-
lleved that they were working in the cause
Of true liberty when they committed this
murder. II so they are to be pltled. Bat
organized society must protect itself, and
to do It effectually 1t should prohibit the
teaching OF doctrines which lead to murder.
That way the remedy lies.

THE Pacific ocean boundary of the United
States has a greater extent OF coast line
than the Atlantic shore. The aggregate
OF cur shore line on the Pacific is 1874
miles, while on the Atlantic it is IL $3.50
Giles, and on the Gulf OF Mexico 6,Si3.
California contains 1856 miles of the coast
line on the Pac!Ac,. while she has also a7s
miles OF island shore and 2i0 miles OF tide
water river shore, making altogether l,64s
miles Of shore line. Texas has an actual
coast line on the gulf 1905 miles, while
Florida has 1,l44 on the gulf and 1868 miles
on the Atlantic, SO that both exceed Cali
ifornia in this particular. 1t was the annex
alton OF Alaska that promoted the Pacific
coast to higher figure than the Atlantic,
Alaska having $3.50 miles of coast line
These figures are taken from the coast sur

decision that both the Law and the facts
had been correctly interpreted by the judge
and the jury in their different spheres.

TEACHING BY LECTURES

In Mixed Assembly 2072 Knights of
Labor.
This assembly which fills Timms's Hail
every Wednesday evening has an agreeable
custom OF closing routine business at S:31
O'Clock, and giving an hour or more to. the
consideration Of some live topic on two 90
three evenings In the month. Some on
previously selected comes prepared to open
the discussion in speech Of from twenty to
fifty minutes. The last lecture but one
was given by Brother Lawson, colored,
who ma le an attempt to dehue the status
OF the colored men in the orGer OF knight
hood. II frequent applause during the de,
livery and hearty congratuation at the
close Of his address were at all Indicative,
the attempt was pronounced success. His
leading proposition was that the colored
man would certainly prove his allegiance to
the Order of Knights.
The opening address at the meeting this
week was made by Brother Wilde, who did
not appear very wild on that occasion. The
subject was Temperance" Prohibition
was made the pivotal point throughout the
discussion. The opening speaker, who was
fortified with many pages OF facts, figures,
incidents, and Illustrations, was not pre-
pared to declare for prohibition. He argued
that prohibition did not prohibit, but did
encourage hypocrisy. The discussion that
sprung up was surprising both in its livell.
ness and the wide range of ready information
CLEANED from current literature, which the
earnest speakers discovered. Those VINO de.
clGred their hearty allel liance 10 prohibition
were about three to one for high license,
among those who had time TO catch the eye OF
the presiding officer, and gain the floor. One
Of the unfOrtunates who could next get the
floor frankly admitted he wanted to ''gve

who "loved beer and wine as well as any
MANI declared he would "giye them both
up II by that sacrifice he could do away
with the great evil.n This assembly is

THE Baltimore american has this to say
touching the tobacco tax

touching the tobacco tax
Tobacco raisingis one the great agricul-
tural interests ofthe country. The tax is un-
American. 1t is inquisitorial in character,
and interferes with the right of the producer
to sell where and how he pleases. No tobacco
grower, under the present oppressive law, can
sell more than hundred pounds of his crop;
the rest must go through number of hands,
gathering, like the SNOWFALL, charges at every
step, until the profit of the farmer is reduced
to a minimum. On this account the industry
in Maryland has been seriously crippled, aud
in counties where tobacco was the principal
crop and the maiustay Of the people scarcely
any is now grown. No tax which interreros
with production should be levied.

.. What do you think of the labor vote; no;
the George vote only, but that of the different
organizations?
Two hundred and seventy,two of the dele
gates answered as to their presidential pref
erepces. or these, POI were for Blaine, SO for
Depew, 10 for Lincoln, and the others scat
tered among quite number. A majority Of
those who expressed an opinion thought
that the Prohibition vote this fall would
be under 40, 700, while a much larger ma.
joriiy thought the entire labor vote would
exceed $1,000.
